Intel this week revealed defect density metrics for its 18A (1.8nm-class) process technology and said that it was healthy at the Deutsche Bank's 2024 Technology Conference. The company also said that the number of customers potentially interested in using this production node was growing.
"I am happy to update the audience that that we are now, for this production process, we are now below 0.4 d0 defect density, this is now a healthy process," said Pat Gelsinger, chief executive of Intel, at the technology conference.
